Getting clearer on a plan?

Well, we're eight (8, oito) days (dias) from departure and ten (10, dez) days from arriving in Maputo.

We've got a place to stay - The Base Backpackers Hostel - for the first few days. This might turn into our home for the duration. We've got a ride from the airport to the base ($10 US). And, we've got a friend there named Shula Mulenga who's going to help us stay busy while we're there.

Shula is in charge of the orphan program, Kutwanana Home-based Care, that we'll be "visiting" - quotes necessary considering the governmental reluctance to accept foreign assistance - and she's going to meet us in Maputo and, hopefully, provide a sense of safety and confidence that we're where we need to be.

In case your not sure where it is we'll be:
